Trump Meme Coin Scam: 764,000 Lose Money, 58 Rake in $1.1 Billion
Launched days before his second inauguration, the “fight, fight, fight” $TRUMP meme coin has seen wildly disparate outcomes for investors. While a small number of accounts profited handsomely, totaling roughly $1.1 billion, a significant portion of the 2 million accounts have lost money. The coin’s value has fluctuated dramatically, influenced by promotional efforts including a contest offering access to Trump, and is currently under investigation by the Senate for potential conflicts of interest. Despite Trump’s claims of unawareness, his involvement raises concerns given his past pronouncements on cryptocurrency and his administration’s influence on its regulation.
